The National Fish and Chip Awards 2023 take place annually and aim to raise standards across the industry.
This is the largest event dedicated to the fish and chip business and has been running for more than 30 years.

Andrew Crook, President of the National Federation of Fish Friers (NFFF), said: “It was a tricky job whittling down the top twenty to the top ten, but the chosen takeaways have demonstrated a clear reason as to why they are deserving of this accolade.
"All finalists should be extremely proud and our judges are looking forward to getting stuck into the next set of judging!”
The best takeaway chippy will be announced after a panel of experts from across the industry undertake a rigorous judging of the 10 finalists.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
